Leading Specialty Chemicals Companies Come Together to Bring More Color to Customers

Capital Partners is pleased to announce that ChromaScape, LLC has purchased Greenville Colorants, LLC, a processor of liquid and powder dyes, representing a significant expansion of products serving paper, printing inks, and textile industries. Greenville Colorants’ technical capabilities, a broad portfolio of over 2,000 products and advantageous geographic locations in New Jersey, South Carolina, and California, offer customers unlimited opportunities to innovate with custom color formulations.

“Greenville Colorants complements ChromaScape in many ways,” says Joe Majewski, Chief Executive Officer, ChromaScape. “Greenville serves similar and adjacent markets and will allow us to extend our manufacturing footprint in the Southeast. We’re excited about this addition to the ChromaScape family and our ability to provide even greater technical expertise in a variety of applications to our respective customers.”

“Ron and I are greatly pleased to join forces with the deep bench of wonderful and talented people throughout all of ChromaScape,” commented Joe Lynch, Greenville Colorants’ President and Chief Executive Officer. Ron Weiss, Greenville Colorants’ Chairman, adds “The natural synergy between our two dyed-in-the-wool, color-to-the-core companies becomes more obvious and gratifying every day.”
